The effect of dietary composition on blood pressure is a subject public health importance. We studied the different levels sodium, in conjunction with Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which rich vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products, persons those without hypertension.
Accurate measurement of blood pressure is essential to classify individuals, ascertain pressure–related risk, and guide management.

Improving diet and lifestyle is a critical component of the American Heart Association’s strategy for cardiovascular disease risk reduction in general population. This document presents recommendations designed to meet this objective. Specific goals are consume an overall healthy diet; aim body weight; recommended levels low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density triglycerides; normal blood pressure; glucose level; be physically active; avoid use exposure tobacco products. The balance...
The aim of this updated statement is to provide comprehensive and timely evidence-based recommendations on the prevention stroke among individuals who have not previously experienced a or transient ischemic attack. Evidence-based are included for control risk factors, interventional approaches atherosclerotic disease cervicocephalic circulation, antithrombotic treatments preventing thrombotic thromboembolic stroke. Further provided genetic pharmacogenetic testing in variety other specific...

This guideline provides an overview of the evidence on various established and potential stroke risk factors recommendations for reduction risk.Writing group members were nominated by committee chair basis each writer's previous work in relevant topic areas approved American Heart Association Stroke Council's Scientific Statement Oversight Committee. The writers used systematic literature reviews (covering time period since last review published 2001 up to January 2005), reference previously...
ContextWeight loss, sodium reduction, increased physical activity, and limited alcohol intake are established recommendations that reduce blood pressure (BP). The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet also lowers BP. To date, no trial has evaluated the effects of simultaneously implementing these lifestyle recommendations.ObjectiveTo determine effect on BP 2 multicomponent, behavioral interventions.Design, Setting, ParticipantsRandomized with enrollment at 4 clinical centers...
A substantial body of evidence strongly supports the concept that multiple dietary factors affect blood pressure (BP). Well-established modifications lower BP are reduced salt intake, weight loss, and moderation alcohol consumption (among those who drink). Over past decade, increased potassium intake patterns based on “DASH diet” have emerged as effective strategies also BP. Of public health relevance findings related to blacks older individuals. Specifically, especially sensitive...
Background and Purpose— This guideline provides an overview of the evidence on established emerging risk factors for stroke to provide evidence-based recommendations reduction a first stroke.

The writing used systematic literature reviews (covering time...
High intakes of dietary sugars in the setting a worldwide pandemic obesity and cardiovascular disease have heightened concerns about adverse effects excessive consumption sugars. In 2001 to 2004, usual intake added for Americans was 22.2 teaspoons per day (355 calories day). Between 1970 2005, average annual availability sugars/added increased by 19%, which 76 Americans’ daily energy intake. Soft drinks other sugar-sweetened beverages are primary source diets. Excessive has been linked with...
Reduced intake of saturated fat is widely recommended for prevention cardiovascular disease. The type macronutrient that should replace remains uncertain.To compare the effects 3 healthful diets, each with reduced intake, on blood pressure and serum lipids.Randomized, 3-period, crossover feeding study (April 2003 to June 2005) conducted in Baltimore, Md, Boston, Mass. Participants were 164 adults prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension. Each period lasted 6 weeks body weight was kept...

Obesity and its cardiovascular complications are extremely common medical problems, but evidence on how to accomplish weight loss in clinical practice is sparse.
Among patients in the United States with chronic kidney disease, black are at increased risk for end-stage renal as compared white patients.In two studies, we examined effects of variants gene encoding apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) on progression disease. In African American Study Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK), evaluated 693 disease attributed to hypertension. Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) study, 2955 (46% whom had diabetes) according whether they 2 copies high-risk APOL1...
